Message: <blockquote data-quote="bastetprincess" data-source="post: 206366" data-attributes="member: 36037">Evening All.I need some help and advice.  I have been type 2 for 8 years now and have ALWAYs been well controlled my hb1c level never rose above 6.8.  My brief history (so as not to bore you all :roll: ) is that I have a 9 year old seriously disabled with cerebral palsy and life limiting epilepsie and  4 year old who has been diagnosed with ASD.  Now I know life style and stress can effect our condition, but until I got pregnant with my 4 year old all was well.  My pregnancy with him whilst injecting insulin, was well controlled and normal and he was born a healthy 7lbs not a typical size to a diabetic mum.  about 9 months after he was born it all went to pot.  What little natural insulin I was producing stopped completely and the GP said the pregnancy had put pressure on my body and I could not produce the little amount of insulin I was making anymore.  So I went onto a regieme of slow release metformin (gut issues withthe fast acting <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" /> ) glictazide, statin.  All went back to normal.  Then last year, after two bouts of phnuemonia it went to pot again :evil: my hba1c was up to 11.2 they put me straight onto victoza (not very overweight, just need to loose a stone <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" /> ) <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" /> they kept he metformin as it was 2 night and day, 125 victoza and one prioclitazide once a day.  Had a hb1c back lst week down to 8.2 but still not great.  I eat a low fat diet I do not drink, I dont eat cream cakes, I have even cut back haing only one small chocolate bar once a month around PMT time.  The only thing I can't consistantly do is exercise, because my sons condition means we are in and out of hospital I very rarely get time to myself, this is the only thing I can think of that might be causing aproblem.  Could it be because I am 40 turned that last month.  I m desperate to keep off insulin, I have an uncle, sister, who use it, but my grandfather, father and other sister are all type 2 and very well controlled.  what is wrong?  GP referring me to hospital now which is never good.  Has anyone else had this problem? any drug recccomendations.
